+/// !example
+/// ## Passing complex objects to threads
+/// 
+/// In the previous examples, we have been using threads with very simple functions and 
+/// we have been passing very simple values (integers) between threads.
+/// 
+/// This example shows how we can pass more complex data between threads.
+/// 
+/// It is important to understand that objects cannot be shared across threads. 
+/// This does not prevent us from passing complex objects but we have to serialize them
+/// and pass them as strings. 
+/// 
+/// If the objects are really simple, we can use JSON serialization but if they contain 
+/// information that JSON discards, like methods, we should use the JASON serializer
+/// published on https://github.com/xk/JASON
+/// 
+/// In this example, we are going to use a thread to do computation with complex numbers.
+/// We use the Complex and Equation classes defined in the ex06_complex.js file.
+var Equation = require("./ex06_complex").Equation;
+/// As usual, we create a thread
+var t = require('webworker-threads').create();
+/// We require the JASON serializer
+var JASON = require("JASON");
+/// We load the JASON serializer and the solve function in our thread:
+t.eval("JASON= "+ JASON.stringify(JASON));
+t.load(__dirname + "/ex06_complex.js");
+/// Now we can pass a request to solve an equation to our thread.  
+/// The expression is wrapped into a `JASON.stringify` call because we want the thread
+/// to stringify the solution object before returning it to the main thread
+/// The main thread calls `JASON.parse` to _de-stringify_ the solution. 
+t.eval("JASON.stringify(new Equation(1, -4, 29).solve())", function(err, result) {
+	if (err) throw err;
+	var r = JASON.parse(result).join(', ');
+	console.log("\nsolution is:\n[" + r+ "]\n");
+	t.destroy();
+});
+/// ### Typical Output
+/// 
+/// ```
+/// solution is:
+/// [2 - 5i, 2 + 5i]
+/// ```
